   In Cau Ke’s Yu-Lan Hui, there are several rituals which are full of cultural and religious characters. However the most original one attracting the most participants is Danh Dong ritual. In this ritual, a procession of thousands of people led by the master and disciples Duong Tang march from Van Nien Phong Palace to the neighboring pagodas of the Khmer and the Vietnamese to perform the legend of “Tam Tang thinh kinh” (Monk Tam Tang seeks the Buddhist pitakas). On the way, the procession performs the extermination of ghosts and devils, driving bad omens away and blessing the local people.
